You Jessie. It's only a 10 minute job.

BTW mine cost £1.10 each. Chrome, not stainless steel, but since my Chimaera chrome nuts were fine after 8 years on the car I thought I'd save a few bob.

Love to know also where you bought the locking wheel nuts, have tried most of what HAlfords sell non fit.

I thought about setting up a small enterprise selling chrome nuts at massive margin, was going to call it 'Blimey Nuts'. £50 for a set to you

But I couldn't be bothered so here's the scoop:

Go to: www.trackstore.co.uk/shop%20frame.html

Select 16 or 20 of:
sn16B: Wheel nut 1/2unf (19hex) 60 degree £1.10

Add postage and Postman Pat delivers them in a day or two.

As for locking wheel nuts ... This took some research. Halfords sell McGard locking nuts and you can order the following part number: 24138. If you look in the book they are for a Jeep Grand Cherokee (I think there is a letter/code after the 24138 in the book, but don't worry about that- 24138s fit). Halfords don't normally stock this part BTW, special order only. Mine took about 4-5 days to arrive.

If you can find a suppler you can get McGard normal nuts too - part number 64010.

Commission cheques for all the research accepted

Got Shiny nuts on my Tam too. Also got a set of locking nuts from the TVR centre, £29.99 + vat, (they do look like my old MGF ones though???)
